Im selling USD GIC's hand over hand right now....I 90 USD GIC at 4.59%...saweet. And I'm loading up on USd stocks right now to!

Initially parity will be rough on some aspects of CDN business but as things level out and the dollars stay close to equal it will get better. It will take a couple years though.

One comment on tourism. Even when the CDN $ was at 65 cents Canadians still went to the States and travelled abroad, the Yanks just have to swallow their pride and get over themselves.

Forceasters are betting on our dollar being 1.05 within 4 or 5 months...some things are nicley cheaper on the Fishy sites in the US...A lot are not. same as always. I kinda shop wherever, I support local when my pocketbook allows, but it dictates when that is :)
